Alarm clock/phone—Rooms are not equipped with an alarm clock or phone.

Water bottle—Due to our dry climate and high altitude it is very important for guests to stay properly hydrated. Attendees can fill up their water bottle in one of the numerous hydration stations across campus.

Sunscreen—Sunburns can happen easily in Colorado; we get over 300 days of sunshine each year!

Weather protection—Although summers are generally warm and dry, guests should be prepared for unexpected weather or temperature changes by packing a light jacket, long pants, closed toe shoes, and a small umbrella.

Cash & quarters—Vending machines and laundry rooms are coin-operated. Guests bringing a vehicle to campus may also need cash to purchase a parking permit.

Laundry detergent—Guests staying for longer than a week are encouraged to bring detergent for their laundry needs, as well as quarters for the washers and driers.

Fan—Although we have a limited number of fans available, guests staying in a non-air-conditioned residence hall are encouraged to bring their own fan whenever possible.

Public transportation to and from the DU campus includes bus or light rail routes to popular locations such as the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver, Cherry Creek Shopping Center, and the Tech Center. Please be sure to visit the RTD website for trip planning, schedules, and other helpful information.

Mail cannot be delivered directly to the residence halls during the summer months. Guest mail may be sent to the Conference & Event Services office instead. Due to the large number of people and groups visiting campus, guests should allow 1-2 additional business days to receive their mail.

Guests may utilize the Coors Fitness Center at a reduced rate. Guests must show their conference swipe card (provided at check-in) to receive the discounted rate and pay in cash at the fitness center front desk. For hours and other information, please visit the Coors Fitness Centerwebsite.
